Episode 9

Ten chefs tackle their first challenge on Professional MasterChef as they attempt to prove to Monica and Gregg that they deserve to go on and cook for the legendary Michel Roux Jr.

In the Seven Ingredient Invention Test, the contestants must create a dish from a selection of chicken thighs, bacon, leeks, chocolate, brandy, grapes and a bunch of tarragon. In one hour they must come up with a dish that showcases their talent and ability in the kitchen. The pressure is on as any mistake could cost them the chance of cooking for Michel.

For now, they are all safe, but in the next programme the first group of these chefs must return and face their final test.
